ARP Omni

Omni Mk 1 (1975-77)

The Omni is an analog synth with preset Orchestral String sounds. It has
polyphonic Violin and Viola waveforms as well as monophonic Bass and
Cello waveforms. It is split into 3 sections: Strings, Synthesizer, and
Bass synth - all simultaneously available. It has traditional and simple
VCA, VCF, and LFO controls for contouring your sounds as well as a nice
chorus that really thickens up the string sound. It has no program
memory.

Omni Mk 2 (1978-81)

ARP later released the Omni Mk 2 (pictured above). It was basically the
same machine as its predecessor, except for a few minor enhancements and
a cosmetic Orange & Black color-scheme upgrade. And it did have a
much more advanced triggering system for the VCF and VCA for more
expressive results. The Omni has been used by Tangerine Dream, The
Cars, Joy Division, Kraftwerk, Trouble Funk and New Order.
